Decade ago, Manhattan's Juilliard School of Music sent one of its greenest sprigs, highbrowed Henry Arthur ("Hine") Brown, to the Southwest to stir up sweet sounds. Mr. Brown taught violin at New Mexico College of Agriculture, didn't stir up much until he went to El Paso. Then he waved a stick over the amateurs, and they turned into an orchestra. In five years the symphony, selfsupporting, was coming and pahing with as much assurance as any young outfit in the land...

The authentic afflatus descended upon Café Society on its opening night, when a pale young man, one of the guests, stepped up with a clarinet. It was Benny Goodman, just recovered from long illness (sciatica). When he sent out Somebody...

Last month in Manhattan, amid an outburst of pompous, dead-pan hullabaloo, an uplifting stunt was launched by the National Committee for Music Appreciation, an outfit headed by John Erskine, novelist, musician, guiding light and onetime president of the Juilliard School of Music. The New York branch of the Committee, billing itself in double-page advertisements as "a non-profit organization," announced that it would distribute twelve sets of operatic recordings "at an incredibly small cost!"-$1.75 for three or four records. Last fortnight the same records were launched in Washington...
